Rumours, hopes, and dreams surrounding Sam Smith potentially doing the next James Bond theme have been flying around for ages, mostly because he has the velvety toned voice of a musically blessed angel. Plus, as many people o' the internet have proclaimed, he's basically the male Adele. And she did it, so why wouldn't he be next?

This comes after Sam has been firmly denying any involvement in the new James Bond theme: Spectre all year, bless him. He even told Capital FM that he had "absolutely no idea what's going on", before implying that Ellie Goulding might be behind the mystery track. And we believed him, like the trusting fools we are - until he tweeted this picture yesterday and the penny finally dropped.
